Re: Give the babies what they think they want and you'll see a destroyed nation.
The problem is not the “babies.”
White young people consistently vote about 55% Republican.
Unfortunately, in 2018, close to half of all young people are non-white, and they vote 80% Democrat.
I've been preaching this same political sermon at Free Republic for almost 15 years.
And for the last 15 years, most Republicans have been standing around, silently watching the number of LEGAL immigrants go up every year.
If America is destroyed in the voting booth, we have only ourselves to blame.

They vote if they don’t over sleep or there’s not a party or a video game they want to play.

There has always been a strong youth vote, even stronger than we have now, when the birthrates are falling.
And we’ve always been able to elect Republicans and conservatives.

"And when they do, it will be a wave favoring the Democrats," I surmise that the post-17th Amendment ratification, vote-winning, constitutionally non-enumerated right to have an abortion has hurt the Democrats more than it has hurt RINOs.
Corrections, insights welcome.

Millennials eh?
From September 2016:
“Young voters in this poll have low opinions of Trump; only 23 percent have a favorable opinion of him compared to 44 percent who view Clinton favorably.
Seventy-three percent see Trump as racist, 74 percent say they would be scared if Trump controlled nuclear codes, 70 percent said he is unfit to protect Americans and 25 percent think he respects women.
Furthermore, most respondents find some of Trumps actions to be very offensive, including 72 percent of young adults who found mocking a reporters disability, an issue Clinton has highlighted in her campaign ads, offensive.”

Only Obama has gotten the youth vote energized. I don’t think it will happen during a midterm.

Kids tend to grow up rather quickly once they move out of Mum and Dad's basement and need to start supporting themselves.
Which is why the Obamanation was quite content on keeping them there and saddling them with student loan debt to be paid for by wages earned at Starbucks.

I interact with youth on Facebook and I have repeatedly told them just how badly they are going to do themselves in, if they vote to the left.
They keep telling me that it can be done like Europe and nations like Venezuela are just aberrations that can be avoided.
I’m just I am now fifty. I can go on a mountaintop to die. It should only take a week, if I don’t get eaten first.

One of Nixon's biggest mistakes - Lowering the voting age to 18.
Not old enough to buy a gun.
Not old enough to get off mommy's and daddy's medical insurance.
But old enough to vote for democrats.

This story has been written over and over since the 1960s. If it were true, we’d have a Dem-dominated government already and the GOP be a small minority. And yet, as of now, we have more GOP officeholders than at any time since the 1920s. Why? Because the “youth” never vote. And many of them become conservative as they get older.

Why would anybody vote republican? Never has there been a more feckless corrupt party in congress.

I agree with you 90% of the way. Unfortunately, the Dems are lowlifes to an even greater degree than out Republican Congressmen. That’s hard to imagine as being true, but it is.

On The Other Hand, it must be admitted that the GOP, as a party, has stood for exactly
nothing in their so-called platform planks during these kids
entire lifetimes.
- Constitutionally limited government?
NSA, CIA, TSA, ATF, FBI, DOE, etc. - Accountability?
The NSA's complete disregard of the 4th Amendment?
The CIA's domestic operations?
The TSA's complete disregard of the 4th Amendment?
The ATF's complete disregard for the 2nd Amendment?
The DOE's rather obvious indoctrination campaigns?
The Iran Deal? The Clinton Foundation? The mishandling
of classified information? - Fiscal responsibility?
- Abortion?
- Border security?
Which of the above have the Republican party actually stood firm on?
The simple truth of the matter is that if the Republican party is functionally indistinct from the Democrat party, and at this point it really isn't distinct, then it does not deserve to exist as a separate party.
To: SoFloFreeper
In a way, I hope the Demonrats do take over in November. It is time for the American people to see who they really are. It may take a bloody civil war to learn that painful set of lessons all over again. You know the Demonrats from Justice John Paul Stevens on down are just itching for such a bloodbath. Let it come in my time, I say, that my children may be free.

The Communists (they call themselves Democrats,
With each passing generation of useful idiots that come and go communism needs to be repackaged and marketed as something new and REVOLUTIONARY. A lot like those sleazy late night infomercials and free lunch seminars pushing the same old get rich quick scams as new ways to achieve instant wealth and lifetime income streams. Such as buying real estate with no $$$down. Making a killing in stocks regardless of market conditions. Investing thousands in the latest snake oil while building a downline or some other unworkable MLM/pyramid racket. They'll tell you other systems failed because they were implemented wrong by the wrong people but THEY have a proven system that works. Those 4 deadly words, THIS TIME IT'S DIFFERENT. And like the "red diaper babies" and hippies and yippies before them millenials fall for this horseshiite like so many brainwashed little puppies.
